Restaurant roofs in Irving live downstream of grease exhaust, the exposure that quietly destroys standard membranes around every kitchen vent.
Restaurant roofing in Irving starts at the grease stack. PVC membranes resist the oils that degrade TPO and EPDM, and containment details around vents extend system life. We schedule around service hours and keep work clean and contained at all times, because health inspections leave no room for mess.
Inspections are free and documented with photos, and we provide written estimates before any work. Under Texas law we never waive a deductible, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Grease, Hail, and Irving Restaurant Roofs
Oil exposure weakens the wrong membrane over time, and hail finds weak spots. Within 8 miles of Irving, hail an inch or larger has fallen on 33 days since 2006, and in 15 of the last 20 years. A roof already softened near a vent is more likely to split under impact, so we check grease zones closely after every storm and photograph them for the owner’s file. The area’s record, 4.25 inch hail on May 24, 2011, is a reminder that a kitchen roof has to handle both problems.
Irving is in Dallas County, and with a 1986 median build year across its housing, many restaurants may occupy buildings that have seen earlier repairs. Our crews also handle restaurant roofs in Grapevine and Farmers Branch.

Common questions: restaurant roofing in Irving
Why do restaurant roofs fail early in Irving?
Grease. Kitchen exhaust deposits oils that break down standard membranes around vents. PVC systems and proper containment details are the fix.
Can you work around our service hours?
Yes. Mornings before prep, closed days, and sectioned phasing keep kitchens serving while the roof gets right.
Our Irving building's roof has a long repair history. Where do we start?
With the documented assessment and moisture survey. Buildings with layered repair history need the evidence layer most, because what's wet underneath decides whether the next dollar goes to repair, restoration, or replacement.
How often does hail hit Irving?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 33 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 8 miles of Irving, including 9 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 15 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.5-inch hail on March 25, 2025.
How old are most homes in Irving?
